How to play this course

Every hazard on this nine, with the first thing to get right. Open a guide for the full plan.

• River and bridge Before aiming, look at where the river meets each edge of the fairway. Full guide →
• Sweeping arm Either lay up comfortably short of the circle, or carry far enough that rollout takes the ball past it. Full guide →
• Island green Choose the club whose carry reaches the front of the green, not the flag, and allow for the wind before you lock the line. Full guide →
• Chute Off the tee, take the longest club whose spread you trust — often a 5-wood or 4-iron rather than the driver — and aim at the middle of the narrowest part, not at the flag. Full guide →
• Cart path On a long, straight links hole, aim a long club at the start of the path and let it run. Full guide →
• Boulders Look along the line you are about to lock, not only at the flag. Full guide →
• Daily conditions On firm ground, land the ball shorter and let it run, and keep well short of water behind greens. Full guide →
